i'm having so much fun
okay wow it gets. Way Worse.
My favourite things about the whole OceanGate disaster, in no particular order
- That the vessel was originally named Cyclops II but the CEO renamed it to Titan, so itβs even BETTER than the Titanic
- He also called it indestructible
- The guy piloting the vessel is an ex-naval captain who has been on several titanic manned trips. But the guy is 77 rn
- The billionaire from Pakistan is apparently friends with King Charles. Youβd think for someone whoβs besties with a guy whose job was literally being born, heβd care more about protecting his bloodline. Instead, he brought his 19 year old with him
- Meanwhile, the stepson of one of the other billionaires (I think the British one named Hamish) went to a Blink 182 concert. When questioned about this, he basically went βmy family would want me to go to the concertβ. Today, minutes after posting about asking for thoughts and prayers, he @βed an OF model on Twitter, asking her to sit on his face
- Bc itβs part of the safety demo & music track list for the trip, there is a VERY good chance that if thereβs still some power left in the sub, itβs playing an instrumental of My Heart Will Go On on loop
- Also, the vessel is a submersible bc it doesnβt meet literally any of the safety regulations to be called a submarine. Which the CEO knew, because heβs blatantly said that safety regulations get in the way of progress
- The CEO once stated that he thought the future of humanity was not in space, but in the ocean when the surface becomes uninhabitable
- Apparently the controller heβs using has REAL bad reviews because the connection always fails
- These idiots paid $250k EACH but they had to pack their own lunch. Not even a damn charcuterie board
- The pilotβs seat is on the toilet. So whenever someone needs to go, the pilot needs to move
- Thereβs 1 window looking out. Thatβs it
- Itβs about the size of a minivan
- The sub uses texts (but only to the CEOβs phone) to communicate, as well as StarLink, but they can only access that if they surface
- The door literally cannot be opened from inside
- There is a decent chance that at least 1 person has been cannibalized (my bet was the pilot since heβs not rich, but bc of the banging sounds, heβs probs not dead, so it may be the CEO)
- Theyβre supposed to run out of oxygen tomorrow (22/06/23) at 7 am est, but tbh, the CO2 scrubber system will probs fail before that
- The toilet is a plastic bag
- This is only the 3rd time in 3 years the vessel has gone to the Titanic. Every other time, thereβs an issue and they gotta turn back within like 4 hours
- A lot of major news networks are trying to remain positive, but itβs a HILARIOUS comparison when you go to social media and every single person is like βyeah that shit is built like a cardboard boat, theyβre fuckedβ
- The companyβs name is literally called OceanGate
it would be so cool to have an elephant fuck with your shit like just once i wanna be doing paperwork at a desk and an elephant trunk just moseys on over across the desk and starts moving stuff around and greabbing my pen and slapping my face and shit. would be awesome
Unironically, it would be so cool to be pranked by an elephant.
